SPECIFICATION forming partof Letters Patent No. 517,725, dated April 3,1894.

Application filed October 17,1893. Serial No. 488,383. (No model.) I

To wZZ whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HENRY BORNSTEIN, a citizen of the United States, anda resident of Boston, in the county of Sufiolk and State ofMassachusetts, have invented new and usea new and improved safety scarfpin which cannot be withdrawn from the garment without special andpeculiar manipulation after it has been properly attached, therebypreventing valuable pins from being lost or snatched and stolen from thewearer. This object is accomplished in the manner and by the meanshereinafter described and claimed, reference being made to theaccompanying drawings, in which- Figure 1, represents a perspective viewof my improved safety scarf or stick pin. 2, represents a side elevationof the same showing it in the act of being inserted in the scarf orgarment; and Fig. 3, represents a similar view showing it in itsattached position when worn.

Similar letters refer to similar parts wherever they occur on thedifferent parts of the drawings.

A, represents the shank portion of the pin having a pointed end'A' asshown. The upper portion of 'theshank is bent or curved, as shown at A,and then bent downward in the form of a short and pointed prong A theconstruction being such that the bent or curved portion A liessubstantially in the pin is put in place in the scarf or garment G.

In using the pin the shank A, is inserted in or put through the garmentas shown in Fig. 2 'and the pointed end ofthe prong A also Fig.

made to penetrate the garmentas shown in said Fig. 2. If now the pin ispushed farther down, that is as far as the projecting shank or stud B,will allow, and the upper portion ofthe garment is drawn over the curvedportion A" and the pin moved slightly upward as shown] in Fig. 3, thescarf pin is firmly locked in position and can neither be moved up ordown unless the wearer slides the upper portion of the garment back overthe curved end A to the position shown in Fig. 2 when the pinmay beeasily withdrawn.

' From the above it will be seen that the device is a safety one forholding scarf or stick pins firmly in the position and preventing theirbeing accidentally or'forcibly removed without the proper manipulationabove mentioned.

The invention is" very simple in construction, durable, and serves as aready means for properly securing and locking scarf or stick pins inposition on the garments on which they are used.

I-Iavingthus fully described the nature, construction, and operation ofmy invention, I wish to secure by Letters Patent and claim- As animproved article of manufacture, a safety pin for scarfs and otherpurposes, consisting of a pointed shank'A, a downwardly projecting frontprong A a bent or curved portionA" connecting the shank and front prongand lying-substantially in the plane thereof, and a projecting shankB'provided with asetting and rigidly fixed on the said front prongbetween the pointed extremity thereof and the bent or curved portionwhich
